The Sims 4: Adventure Awaits is packed with new activities, skills, and careers that bring your Sims closer to nature and imagination. While it’s fun to progress through camp stories, learn archery, or climb the Park Worker career ladder at your own pace, sometimes you just want to skip the grind. That’s where cheats come in.

How to Enable Cheats in The Sims 4
Before using any Adventure Awaits cheat, you need to turn on the cheat console:
- PC: Press Ctrl + Shift + C
- Mac: Press Command + Shift + C
- Console (PS/Xbox): Hold all four shoulder buttons at once
In the bar that appears, type:
testingcheats on
or
testingcheats true
You’ll see a confirmation message that cheats are enabled. To turn them off later, type:
testingcheats off
Adventure Awaits Skill Cheats
The expansion introduces four new skills. Three are minor skills (max level 5) and one is a major skill (max level 10). Replace X with the level you want.
- Archery
stats.set_skill_level skill_archery X
- Diving
stats.set_skill_level Minor_Diving X
- Entomology
stats.set_skill_level Minor_Entomology X
- Papercraft (major skill)
stats.set_skill_level Major_Papercraft X
Use “5” for minor skills or “10” for Papercraft to instantly max them out.
Adventure Awaits Career Cheats
The expansion adds the Park Worker career, which later branches into Park Ranger or Park Counsellor. To adjust your Sim’s job progression:
- Promote in Park Worker career
careers.promote parkworker
- Demote in Park Worker career
careers.demote parkworker
Tip: If you demote back to Level 8 and get promoted again, you can re-select which career branch to follow.
Adventure Awaits Trait Cheats
Traits help shape how your Sims behave. For Adventure Awaits, one new confirmed trait is Competitive, with more expected to be uncovered as the pack evolves.
- Add Competitive Trait
traits.equip_trait trait_competitive
- Remove Competitive Trait
traits.remove_trait trait_competitive
Other traits like Scrappy and hidden aspiration rewards will also be available through cheats as players discover them.
Adventure Awaits Aspiration Cheats
The expansion introduces aspirations such as Critter Hunter for kids and Cool Kid on the Block. While there isn’t a direct code to complete them instantly, you can finish each stage with:
aspirations.complete_current_milestone
This unlocks progress rewards, including the Critter Enthusiast trait when completing Critter Hunter.
Build/Buy Cheats for Adventure Awaits
Build/Buy mode cheats remain essential for unlocking everything new in Adventure Awaits:
- Unlock all locked items
bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentiment true
- Show hidden objects
bb.showhiddenobjects
- Enable free build anywhere
bb.enablefreebuild
These are especially handy for accessing rustic camp gear, playground structures, and decorative items tied to Gibbi Point.
Buff & Moodlet Cheats
Adventure Awaits also comes with themed mood buffs, which can be added using the sims.add_buff
command. For example:
- +1 Confident (4 hours)
sims.add_buff WeenieRoastHost_Bronze
- +2 Inspired (4 hours)
sims.add_buff Inspiredhigh
- +5 Happy (20 days)
sims.add_buff CheatingIntensityBuff_Elated
These buffs can boost storytelling, set the right mood for Getaways, or help role-play summer camp drama.
When to Use Cheats in Gameplay
Adventure Awaits is heavily themed around kids, camps, and outdoor storytelling, but cheats make it flexible for every type of player:
- Speed through new skills instead of grinding.
- Jump to the top of the Park Worker career to see both branches.
- Unlock traits and aspirations to test how they affect gameplay.
- Experiment with Build/Buy content without waiting for unlocks.
For players who enjoy experimenting, creating storylines, or just avoiding repetitive tasks, these cheats are the fastest way to explore everything Gibbi Point has to offer.
